Completing functional testing
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for performing functional testing on an application, comprising:
- executing a test script that tests the application;
determining that a failure occurs at a verification point in the test script because a first resource needed by the test script is not available;
pausing, in response to the determining, the test script;
identifying, in response to the determining and within an analysis store,a second resource related to the first resource, andan expected result for the second resource; and
restarting execution of the test script at the verification point using the second resource.

Abstract
The Functional Tester Plug-in (FTP) extracts information from a data base to enhance automated testing tools to accommodate changes to the computer environment and so that a simulation can be fully executed even if an exception occurs. The FTP accesses the test script and static data store created by a developer using the automated testing tool, wherein the test script and static data store indicate a first resource to be tested at a verification point and a first expected result. The FTP identifies the first resource used by the test script at a first verification point and accesses the data base. The FTP identifies the status and configuration of the first resource in the data base. The FTP calculates an optimal expected result based on any changes in the status and configuration of the first resource.
